y\left(x+3\right)=2
Variable x cannot be equal to -3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+3.
yx+3y=2
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x+3.
yx=2-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides.
\frac{yx}{y}=\frac{2-3y}{y}
Divide both sides by y.
x=\frac{2-3y}{y}
Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.
x=-3+\frac{2}{y}
Divide 2-3y by y.
x=-3+\frac{2}{y}\text{, }x\neq -3
Variable x cannot be equal to -3.
